I will not be dealing with the resignation of Dennis Blair today. It is very important, but I want to wait until more facts come in. It would be easy…and irresponsible…to lambaste the president on this one until we know more.
Besides, an event over a week ago is on my mind.
Better late than never, for the event itself and my reporting of it.
The hacker got shellacked.
Now shackle the hacker’s feet and hack the hacker’s hands off.
Obstruction of Justice: Guilty
Unauthorized access to a computer: Guilty
Wire fraud: Not guilty
Identity theft: Deadlocked.
The jury had four charges to contemplate against 22 year old leftist criminal Mr. Cornell. They obviously deliberated very carefully and thoughtfully, given the split verdict.
Finally, a leftist monster gets punished.
This was not a college prank. A leftist thug hacked into Sarah Palin’s private personal email account and disseminated her emails.
This was a white collar equivalent of rape.
I say this kid should have his own emails violated in prison, and those emails should be located under his clothing. Maybe his keyboard can be shoved up his (redacted).
No, leftist apologists. Both sides don’t do it.
Conservatives do not key cars or steal lawn signs. Conservatives do not run over liberal politicians with their cars as a liberal did to Katherine Harris.
The left is so desperate for moral equivalence that they are manufacturing violence against them. They are carrying hateful signs to tea parties and pretending to be tea party attendees, so desperate are they for their self-described narrative to be true.
In the name of peace and tolerance they threw bottles at a rally in Arizona. In California, they defiled churches.
Both of these occurrences were because they did not like a democratically elected law that was passed.
Conservatives are the party of laws. Liberals are the party of fairness. If something is unfair, they feel justified to break the law.
Being a conservative makes one evil. Therefore, the ends justify the means. Had the hacker found a racist email or something along those lines, he would be a hero.
He is not being abandoned by the left for committing crimes. He is being hung out to dry for failing to bring her down.
Some will say that the system worked because he was convicted.
No it didn’t.
Sarah Palin cannot get the privacy of her emails back. Like a rape victim, she will be looking over her shoulder forever. Nobody on the left will consider her feelings because in leftyworld, she has none.
I want to know who else encouraged this kid. He did not act in a vacuum.
Did a college professor help him? His father is a liberal fat cat. Who else was involved?
Most importantly, will one leftist scumbag have the decency to condemn this kid?
Of course not. He is a symptom of a much larger disease.
Also, why is this not a hate crime? He is a liberal who hates conservatives. We know this. He acted because he hated Palin. Why does she not get covered under hate crimes laws?
Does anybody think this would be tolerated if Barack Obama had his email hacked?
Of course not. Halliburton would be audited the next day until they gave up Dick Cheney.
Yes, Sarah Palin got a small belated slice of justice.
It is not enough.
A pound of flesh needs to come out of every liberal bully that contributed to this kid being the way he is.
Monsters are not born. They are created and raised over time.
This was not “no big deal.” This was a very big deal. The right to be left alone in peace, even for public figures, is a very big deal.
I say that every email Mr. Cornell has ever sent or received should be made public. I want to see evidence of scruffy college kids laughing about what he did.
At least one of them will not be laughing anymore.
If James O’Keefe can get arrested for doing nothing illegal, then Mr. Cornell deserves the maximum for breaking the law and actually being guilty.
I hope Barack Obama is asked to pardon this kid. That would be fun to watch.
Until then, the judge needs to throw the book at Mr. Cornell.
Make an example of him, and restore law and order to society.

The same morons who rail against the Patriot Act
Dennis Blair has had a rough tenure. He was an odd choice to start with. I don;t think much will come of this.
I think the hacker is getting in too much trouble. What the heck kind of ridiculous police state are we becoming anyway? He should get in some trouble, but not too much. It’s just not that serious a crime. Calling him a “leftist monster” is just plain loony. I don’t think that rightwing kid should get in that much trouble either. I think we’ve become too much a nation of frightful wusses.
“This was a white collar equivalent of rape.” Ludicrous. If you want “a white collar equivalent of rape,” look at your buddies on Wall Street, not this guy.

What if I broke into your bedroom and exposed your collection of God knows what to the world ?
This was not just some peeping tom, this guy gave the whole world a peek at a persons privacy.
From either position on the aisle we care very much about the sanctity of our personal lives in different perspectives.
Once we start tolerating this crap were screwed.
‘“This was a white collar equivalent of rape.” Ludicrous. If you want “a white collar equivalent of rape,” look at your buddies on Wall Street, not this guy.”
This administration has quite possibly pulled off the largest train/gang rape of the American people and its wealth in history.
Whats next ? Regulating the internet ?
oh, wait….
Wall st. did not invade anyones mail.
Opening mail not addressed to you is a federal felony. Why should E mails be any different ?
Oh God, Micky, are you for real? You think this kid should get 21 years for hacking into an email account? Really? Man, you guys may as well just pack up and move to some Third World cess pool pool run by a kleptocratic Military Junta. Bunch of police state fairies.
And really? You think those thieves on Wall Street shouldn’t be more regulated? These people live in a moral vaccuum. Eric said himself one time that these guys do whatever they want “as long as it’s legal.” They are souless crooks. You trust these guys? Really? here’s a guy who knows more about Wall Street than any of us…

An op-ed who writes regularly in the LA Times, associated Newts
recent statements about the Democratic party, with his links to
the tea parties.
Of course, as expected, Tim denounced the tea parties somewhat
at times extreme positions, with Newt, guilt by assoication.
Hmmmmmmm, where was Tim when just a few months ago,
after the yes vote on Prop 8, the demonstrations in West Los Angeles,
and elsewhere touched violence and the Mormon Church was both
villified and blocked by demonstrators ( the church financed part of the
campaign against the same sex marriage decision ).
I can tell you this much, I was shocked and terribly dismayed when
both rabbis and pastors (mainly liberal), came out for a No vote.
Talk about sin. The bible, both Jewish and Christian forbids same sex
and of course marriage. It’s one of the more important laws given
by G-d to Moses on the mountain. Another is keeping kosher..which
is more a respect for G-d than actual pragmatic application of the
law. But that is for another time.
Soooo, it’s okay for thousands to demonstrate vociferiously and
violently at times, with the left, but NOT okay for a Conservative
(Newt) to side with other Conservatives (tea parties).
Seems something is very unfair here.
Hmmmmm, I wonder if Tim will condemn his President for
picking someone to head a major counter-terrorism organization
within government who wants to reach out to Hezbollah?
What next, will we be reaching out to the Taliban (see the movie
“The Brothers” for what that all means).
Last week (today is July 4), I read in the local rag sheet called
the LATimes ( 50pgs that day, sometimes it has 100 on weekends
including ad pages), Sarah Palin is protested everywhere she speaks.
The instant time was at a university, where she was speaking
after her sponsor was approved by the university authorities.
The charge was 500.00 plate, and the room was packed.
The protestors outside, of course, paid nothing to express themselves.
The college said she had the right to her views and freedom of
speech on the campus, that none of the costs were incurred by
the college ( she was paid a substantial amount but nothing of
it was contributed by the school or any taxpayer dollars).
The protestors demanded to know how much she was getting,
as if it were any of their business.
The protests took on the familar resentment against her,
her right wing views, conservative thinking, etc.
Michael Oren, the US ambassador from Israel, was heckled
and not allowed to speak at the UCI. The Palestinian week
is an annual event their, with the usual smears of Israel, lies
and half-truths.
This time however, a private Jewish group went to court
to complain about how Oren was treated. They won,
a small victory in a much larger war between Israel and her
enemies, both within and without.
In Sarah’s case, she was not denied the freedom to speak.
Had the protestors been allowed, they would have emulated
the Oren debacle.
Another tactic the lefists use is to set up shills.
In Arizona, it is feared activist leftist groups will plant
people, who look like Hispanics, to bait the police, thus
causing their arrests. In fact, they are US citizens and thus
would not be arrested (if confirmed) or certainly not prosecuted
under Arizona laws.
But doesn’t this smack of entrapment, but by the supposed
victims?
Anyone doing this, is really violating the laws, both federal and
local.
Perhaps the punishment for them and for Palins protestors
should be to transport them to Mexico, with no right of return
But then again, like the Palestinian claim to their right of return,
(never a right per the UNSC resolution), generations from now,
the offspring of these protestors will be demanding repatriaton
to the US.
Like in the M.E., they will have their supporters.
Hey guys, Hamas is still demanding ALL its requirements for the release of Mr. Shalit be honored by Israel or, they will kidnap more soldiers.
Israel is prepared to release 1,000, but not to the West Bank.
Hamas says no to this.
Over 50% of released terrorists by Israel eventually go back to their
old ways.
Palins protestors, people being used as decoys in Arizona, career
Israeli citizens who have never lived there, and incarcerated thugs
who have killed Jews now part of an extortion plan…they are
all cut from the same cloth.
There is a link folks.
